Here are my logs when running the "t/check12.sh", "t/check12-w.sh", and
"t/distcheck-no-prefix-or-srcdir-override.sh" tests that were failing on
Paul's system:

config.log
Description: Text document

test-suite.log
Description: Text document

I overlooked that one of those failure was not related to DejaGNU,
but due to the use of the GZIP environment variable which had been fixed
in commit 749468ac63042820bc3da85ece5bed64b0c15d62 [1] which will be
available in the next bug-fix release.
